My wife was left to deal with Southern Water due to my emergency hospitalization. Lee stepped in and dealt with all aspects of the installation above and beyond his part of the work which involved a lot of "detective" work. We cannot thank him enough for his high standard of work and kindness. Chris Whitley (Torr)

From Dave on the 13th March 2021:
Lee Irving installed an Ideal Logic Combi Max 30 kw boiler with a Wi Fi Ideal Halo control and with a ten year guarantee, over a two and a half day period. He had provided me with a (free and prompt) detailed quote after a pre-arranged visit whilst observing strict covid preventative conditions which were observed throughout the period of installation.
Lee is a great chap, exceptionally knowledgeable about different heating systems (and qualified to install them) and is more than prepared to listen as well as advise, without any pressure whatsoever! Wow.
